Title: Never Say Never Author: Emily Goodwin Genre: Full length, stand-alone contemporary romance Release Date: September 28, 2015 Cover Designer: Sarah Hanson from Okay Creations Blurb My life was full of nevers.  It was never supposed to go this way. I was never supposed to lose Mom so soon. I was never supposed to worry about making ends meet, to worry about losing the farm. I never thought I’d be working a job I hate, with a boss who was more interested in what was under my shirt than in my head. Saving neglected and abused horses had been my whole life. It was my reprieve, my sanity, my last saving grace in a cruel world. I never thought I’d grow to resent it, but I guess there is a first for everything.  Then I met him.  The Hollywood playboy. The entitled, cocky asshole that I can’t get out of my head. I never thought there could be more to him than sex appeal and an infamous reputation of loving and leaving. ...

As the top ranked Freestyle Motocross rider in the world, I have more money than I could ever dream of spending and gorgeous women throwing themselves at me in every city I land. I have everything I could ever want. Everything except her. While in Breckenridge for my best friend’s wedding, I was introduced to Dakota Shavell, a friend of the bride-to-be, and from the moment our blue gazes met, sparks flew.

Being between her legs gave me a bigger adrenaline rush than I’d ever gotten from flying through the air while straddling a bike. It was supposed to just be fun, a good time. I planned to walk away unchanged.
